    He was underrated. People were carried away by DeGale flash and his win over Paul Smith which flattered to deceive. Groves had faced the tougher tests as a pro. DeGale looked clueless when things were not going his way.

    Groves was just better and more versatile than many thought. And degale was more limited and poorer than many thought. That's petty much the size of it.

    Actually you were beating the Groves drum for a while to be fair. I thought Degale would beat Groves for a fair few weeks leading up to the fight.

    I only changed my mind the night before the fight.

    Caldwell and Booth lol, I went for Groves based on a tried and tested formula, groves beat his opponenent in the Am's, along with Mosley with Dela Hoya, Webb with Small and many others, also Degale standing was based on one fight and a brilliant marketing push.
